Basically what title says,

For me, i may get hate for this but, i feel the Godfather series is terrible overrated. its boring as hell. It may have been good for its time but compared to mafia movies made later on like Casino and Good Fellas, its just boring. I enjoy a good story but i watched the first hour of the first godfather and i couldnt get attached.

Mad Men - same reason i didnt like godfather its just boring, and its just about a guy who works at a cigarette company in the 60s, who in their right mind would see that description and think that show is amazing.

Before i contnue dont think im the type of person who like action packed films and shows, i like both slow paced shows that pay off with an amazing ending but if its just boring all the way through then whats the point

The Wire - I am in NO WAY saying this show is bad, its a great show, but i think it got a little too much attention than it deserved.

Just a short list of TV Shows i love so you know what kind of Film watcher i am

Breaking Bad
True Detective
The Walking Dead
Homeland
Dexter
House of Cards
Orange is the new Black
Sons of Anarchy
Louie
Fargo (2014 FX Mini Series)
Penny Dreadful
Shameless
Lost
South Park
Prison Break

Breaking Bad, The Walking Dead and Doctor Who are shows that don't really interest me. I have watched only a little of each, but I guess they just aren't my type of show. I'm not saying they are terrible, but just not my type. You never know, I might watched them in the future, but those chances are slim.

This is the reason why Firefly disappeared
"Oh yeah, issa good show but... ehh, it's not for me."

the big bang theory like jeez we get it you're a nerd the fanbase is possibly on par with bronies and furries

Big Bang Theory is the greatest show on Earth if you swapped out the laugh track with this:

Yeah I would prefer a TV show doesn't tell me when I'm supposed to laugh. Laugh track needs to be removed from TV shows alltogether in my opinion. I've seen a few episodes of The Big Bang Theory and thought it was ok, but just can't watch with a laugh track every two seconds.

Studies have shown that the average viewer laughs/enjoys a show more than other viewers who saw the same show without the laugh track. I personally cannot stand it, but networks know it is an easy/cheap way to boost ratings than to find/hire a good writing staff.
I'm just happy that the trend never spread to movies, at least not that I'm aware of.
